Garth, you are trying to dodge the issue. So, let me state in clearly "if a pitched ball bounces in the dirt as it approaches home, the batter then makes contact with the ball and the batted ball goes directly to the catcher and is legally caught. If the batter had two strikes prior to the pitch, do we have a third strike out??

Good Lord, I'm not dodging anything. Why would I? I took your question as referencing the post of Lil Leaguer.
As to what I now understand is your question, which is redundant to this thread, I side with the Evans' position, not the the Roder position, that is: a pitch that bounces in the dirt prior to being "tipped" directly to the catcher's glove and is caught by the catcher, is a strike. If two strikes previously existed on the batter, it is strike three.
If you desire something from me in the future, we can do without the accusations.
